>I feel that what Apple is doing with the iPad is trying to create a whole new separate paradigm of computing with glass slabs, without re-using the good ideas from the Mac.
Without bringing the baggage associated with traditional desktop computing.
They reuse "good ideas from the Mac" all the time. They don't want to reuse all, else it would just be the Mac UI, and that's (a) not the best UI option for a tablet, (b) still carries complication they don't want the tablet to have.
The idea is a "form fitting" OS paradigm that can scale to pro eventually, but without the legaly hassle of an OS if it can be avoided (e.g. window management).
The same way installation of apps is just "select+install", everything is sandboxed, uninstallation is just "delete", etc.
